There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

good activity during online training in between exercises - seam ripping! I am getting some vintage fabric ready to repurpose - it had been a curtain.

I went and got a coffee and I am a little more awake. I keep trying to convince myself that I don't need to drink coffee every day to be functional and then when it turns out maybe I do I am sad for having the kind of lifestyle that apparently requires caffeine. Bah.

Seam ripping does sound like a good activity!

Tearing up fabric is even better! (I had a couple of old blankets that had developed holes, so I tore them up to use as cleaning rags ... nicely cathartic, although the fabric they were made of left little bits of thread everywhere.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I've seen one Biden sign. There are still a lot of Bernie signs up in my neighborhood, which is about right for this place.

Here, too.

Signs I've seen have been mostly Black Lives Matter and support for essential workers. I've seen two "Ministry of Silly Walks" signs - one done in chalk by some neighbor kids, with indications as to the kind of walk (hopscotch, twirl, etc.). Also signs to food delivery places as to where to leave packages.

I haven't seen any signs but I haven't been out and about much. And I don't usually see many signs oter than for local elections, still a bit early for those. This discussion did remind me (for some reason) that my city just canceled the 4th of July fireworks yesterday. I honestly thought they were gonna cancel back when we had the fire, but apparently not. I guess it is a pretty big opportunity to make money for all the downtown businesses, and the city must make some money from vendor permits for the fair, but I can't believe there was really much debate about cancelling this year. I am often surprised by the prevailing sentiment among my neighbors, though, maybe there was.

Picture of a sign that I saw online - a church, wishing people a Happy Pride Month with the comment that Jesus Had Two Dads.

Don't think I've seen any Biden signs. Plenty of Trump signs, flags, bumper stickers.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's almost shark week (NOT Discovery channel), and I'm having the super-specific craving for frozen M&Ms. Not room-temperature M&Ms, not refrigerated M&Ms (posers): frozen ones. But I do not have *any* M&Ms.

I do, however, have money, a car, and a convenience store in the neighborhood, as well as a freezer. I might could make this happen.
